Community Call | Ely Frac
efficiency is the part of this work the industry solved. schedules got tighter, crews got faster, and those gains hold up.
production and stimulation optimization is a different kind of problem. it depends on reading the rock in front of you and making a call, and that judgment has always passed person to person rather than living in a process. that's the part that's gotten harder to hand off.
John Ely and Jon Harper join us to talk through what it takes to optimize production without giving up the pace, and where the next generation is picking that up.
we'll cover:
where efficiency gains stop and production gains start
the parts of stimulation design that still come down to judgment
how the newer generation is picking it up, and what programs exist
running both without trading one for the other
